Kamehameha Leader

Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was intelligent, he was an effective communicator, and he adapted to new ideas. Throughout his rule, Kamehameha was able to achieve a profitable business, a beautiful island, and a kapu to help future generations prosper. Therefore he was respected, wealthy, and powerful. Kamehameha was able to bring peace to Hawaii in his time, and he created a base for us to work off of. Without Kamehameha the islands would never have been pieced together by a strong

Developing good relationships with the people was one of Kamehameha’s strengths as a leader. It is important for a leader to have good relationships with the people or the people will not follow. One example that showed how Kamehameha was an effective leader is he worked in taro fields to replace what was has damaged after a war(23). He helped the people and the islands when they needed it. This is significant because he led by example and did not have the people do it alone. Helping others stayed the same after the unification of Hawaii and this is good because Kamehameha strived for the people to help each other. Another example is he placed an ali’i on each island to rule whom he trusted very much. When battles were to take place, these leaders would demolish the enemy right away for Kamehameha (23). These governors were trusted

Kamaunuaniho, daughter and wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku and Hina, daughter and sister of Kamaunuaniho and second wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku, sailed on the red canoe they inherited from Haumealani, the first wāhine of Kananananuiʻaimoku, to the island of Oahu. It was a kapu made by ʻOlopana, King of Oahu island that no “canoe could” “land, because all of the Oʻahu shorelines were made” (Kameʻeleihiwa 8) off-limits. ʻOlopana made all the shores off limits so no predators to his ruling could threaten his reign. However, his trusted guards let down their shield to the presence of these women because of their observations of such beauty sailing on a special red canoe. For these guards knew that a chiefess were standing before them. Hina’s status, purity, and beauty spared her life and Kamaunuaniho’s as they were brought to King ʻOlopana and became his wāhine. These events can easily be compared to the arrival of Captain Cooke. Cooke’s sails were large and white on a boat in similar appearance to a huge canoe just like the god, Lono whose arrival was said to be soon. The advisors of the King of the Island said to kill Cooke warning the king that he would take everything from them. However, just like ʻOlopana, he oversaw Cooke’s arrival and Cooke

Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was responsible by knowing what was good for people in Hawai’i. He was responsible by making the “Splintered Paddle Law.” The “Splintered Paddle Law” was if someone attacked someone they would be put to death (12). This law was created after he attacked innocent people, but nearly died

Kamehameha was caring because he rebuilt his land, cleaned the fish ponds, making the taro patches, and also making long, irrigation ditches. This helped to keep the land clean and sustainable. Another example is, Kamehameha was caring because he put a kapu on young trees used for sandalwood. This is a clever decision because Kamehameha put a kapu so the people won’t spend so much time cutting the trees and the young trees so it will save the natural resources. Hawaii would have been much different if Kamehameha wasn’t a leader at all because the kapu and the way of land system might have changed. Also if Kamehameha wasn’t

King Kamehameha was an aware leader who paid close attention to all his islands to make sure that there was no rebellions. King Kamehameha cared about his people and his land and wanted everything to be fair for all his people. King was also aware that foreigners want to take advantage over the Hawaiian islands so he would ask John Young if he thought the trade was a bad choice or a good choice. King Kamehameha being aware helped him in the Royal Monopoly and even put him on the top of the Monopoly. King Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was smart and a strong leader.

Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was giving governors of the island more land. This act of giving land to other governors of the land was to earn their trust and loyalty. This example is something that stayed the same. This was the same because every chief that served kamehameha always got rewarded for doing good deeds.

Kamehameha established foreign advisers, he successfully made Hawaii an important pit stop for all foreigners .Kamehameha also made laws and a royal monopoly for the sandalwood trade to stop people from only cutting sandalwood

One man unified eight islands from 1782-1810 in 28 years, producing the first Hawaiian Kingdom (Wikipedia, Kamehameha. Another tried to unite a broken country ten times before finally succeeding, sacrificing many along the way (Britannica School, Sun Yat-Sen) These two ambitious achievers are the great men Kamehameha I and former Chinese President of the Kuomintang Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. Kamehameha I was the first ruler of the Hawaiian Kingdom, implementing trade, building foreign relationships, and securing the rule of the Hawaiian monarch. (Potter, 23) Kamehameha’s actions built up what is Hawai’i today, with all its might, its mistakes and failures and its rich history. On the other hand lies Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, considered the founder of modern China.

Kamehameha was an effective leader because he knew how to make money. Kamehameha found out that other countries are charging port fees. Kamehameha decided to do the same to make more money and to trade at the same level as other countries. This was a good change so the chiefs wouldn't go too far into debt. It also means the port fees would give the chiefs more money.

Lot Kapuaiwa Kalanimakua Ali'iolani Kalani Kapuapaikalaninui, otherwise known and more easily pronounced as King Kamehameha V, was one of the most administratively prepared kings to rule Hawaii. One of his best known accomplishments was perhaps his decision not to uphold the 1852 constitution, but instead to write a new constitution entirely. This was the constitution of 1864 He had a royal birth, and a successful reign, until he tragically died at age 42.

On January 27, 1848, the Mahele was created. The word Mahele is Hawaiian and means “land division” because when the foreigners came, the Hawaiian Islands were divided into thirds. This was divided into the king’s section, chief’s section, and maka’ainana’s section. The Mahele was created because King Kamehameha III wanted to protect the land and its people. Kamehameha III was worried about the foreigners taking over, since France took over the Tahiti (Borreca). The Mahele was unjustified because the government betrayed some of the Hawaiians, the price of the land was too high, and lastly many children and adults suffered.

“The Hawaiian pear is now fully riped”, as a strong powerful man onced said. His name was John L. Stevens. This man changed the whole world for Hawaiian people. John was the type to change things, he changed the world. He was a United States Minister in the kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. John was the first American to overthrow a foreign government guided by a United States government officer. John was known because he wanted to make Hawaii to have profitable sugarcane plantations. He also was The Man because he technically kicked out the Queen from Hawaii which was named Queen Liliuokalani. I wonder if you would actually try to kick out someone who’s higher than you be kicked out? He got the courage to do something that he felt that the queen was doing wrong. That’s how i feel that we should be today instead of us being quiet and not do the right thing. The technique that i

Throughout history, there have been great leaders, some for the good of humanity, and some for the not-so good of humanity. The one element all leaders have in common is in some way, have changed the course of history. The one great leader I have found to be interesting and envision of a great leader is William Bradford, an original passenger on the Mayflower, and the first ever governor elected on what is to become, American Soil.

The Samurai’s Tale by Erik Christian Haugaard provides us with many great leaders and also contains many atrocious leaders. Leadership is very evident in the book, such as Takeda Shingen, who is very well known for his courage and ability to lead his army to victory. I accept the fact that many characters in The Samurai’s Tale are terrific leaders, but I believe Lord Akiyama is the best leader. I consider Lord Akiyama a better leader than Takeda Shingen and Lord Katsuyori because although they both contributed to Murakami’s growth and personality, Lord Akiyama had the biggest influence on Murakami.
